To OUR Agents and Friends Everywhere. — As there 

 are thousands of farmers who have discontinued the high 

 priced papers on account of hard times, and who are not 

 now taking any agricultural journal, we have concluded 

 to take half-year subscriptions to the Genesee Farmer, and 

 we trust our friends will make an effort to send us in a 

 few thousand additional subscribers. We will send the 

 Farmer from July to December, inclusive, to single sub- 

 scribers, for 25 cents ; five copies for $1,00, with a Rural 

 Annual to the getter up of the club ; and eight copies for 

 $1.50, with a Rural Annual to the person getting up the 

 club. All subscriptions must end with the year. We can 

 supply the back numbers if desired. 



" Read the Advertisements." — We would call particu- 

 lar attention to the advertisement of Yeomans' Glass Bot- 

 tle for preserving fruit. We can confidently recommend 

 it. Mr. Yeomans has had much experience in preserving 

 fruit, and will furnish our readers full information on 

 application to him by letter at Walworth, N. Y. 



Of Pitts Thrashing Machine, it is unnecessary to speak. 

 It is universally conceded to be the best machine of the 

 kind in the world, and is manufactured by A. Gordon & 

 Co., of this city, in the best manner, and with the latest 

 improvements. The Horse-Hoe, also manufactured by A. 

 G. & Co., we can recommend as a very superior imple- 

 ment. It has been thoroughly tested throughout Western 

 New York, and gives great satisfaction. 



Seymour & Morgan's Self Raking Reaper and Mower 

 Combined is all that is claimed for it, and Manny's 

 Machine with Wood's Improvement, is so well and uni- 

 versally known that commendation is unnecessary. 



The second volume of AppletorUs New American Ci/clo- 

 poidia fully maintains the high character of the, work. 

 See advertisement in this number. 



Two valuable Grasses. — Wm. Ruble, of Eola, Pol! 

 county, Oregon Territory, wishes to call attention to tw 

 valuable varieties of grass which he found, on his over 

 land route to Oregon, " near the base of the Rocky Moun 

 tain.s, at an elevation of 4,500 feet above the level of th 

 sea, in latitute 89 deg. 30 min. north, and longitude 2f 

 deg. So min. west, from Washington. The first resemble 

 timothy, but heads out like blue grass. When I found it 

 on the 8th of June, it was two and a half feet high, of flni 

 promising quality, very nutritious, and stock exceedingly 

 fond of it. It is a little inclined to bunch, and standini 

 plenty thick to turn off a heavy swarth. The other resem 

 bles it in appearance, is of the same height, but mucl 

 later." Mr. R. adds : " When we take into consideratioi 

 its elevation, and the backwardness of the spring at tha 

 point, (it was frosting frequently on the road m that vicin 

 ity as we passed, and I observed the day before that tb 

 strawberries were just in bloom,) it bids fair to becom 

 the best early grass known ; and I feel it a duty to poin 

 out its existence, that persons passing that way lat 

 enough in the season may procure seed. It stands oi 

 Cherry Creek, about 12 miles from its mouth, and 1 

 miles from its head, on the so-called Evans' route." 



The Summer Exhibition of the Genesee Valley Horticul 

 tural Society will be held in this city, June 24. The pi'os 

 pects of the Society were never so flattering as at presen< 

 and we hope that the horticulturists and fruit growers ii 

 this and the adjoining counties will not only attend th 

 exhibition, but enroll their names as permanent member 

 of the Society, and become contributors. It is to be re 

 gretted that these magnificent shows, which are unequalet 

 in the United States, and are worth traveling a thousam 

 miles to see, attract so little notice from farmers and frui 

 growers in the immediate vicinity. 



Copies of the Constitution, By-Laws, and Premium 

 Lists, can be obtained on application to the Secretary, 

 C. W. Seelye, Rochester, N. Y. 



Sanford Howard, editor of the Boston CuUivedor, sails 

 for Europe on the 2d of this month. He goes mainly foi 

 the purpose of purchasing stock for the Massachusetts 

 Society for the Promotion of Agriculture. No better man 

 could have been selected. If any of our readers are desir- 

 ous of importing any cattle, sheep, pigs, etc., Mr. Howard 

 will execute their orders. 



We shall be disappointed if Mr. H. does not give us 

 some of the most useful articles on English Agriculture 

 that have yet appeared in this country.

Many excellent communications already in type, are 



necessarily left out till next month. The press upon our 



columns was never so great as at this time. We are 



under great obligations to our numerous correspondents 



for their repeated favors. We fully appreciate the value 



of their assistance. Ihe Genesee Farmer is iha "farmers 



own paper. " By communicating their experience so 



freely for its columns, they have made it the most 2}e>pul 



emd the most extensively circulated agricultural monthly in 



the u'orld.
